So this might seem like a dumb question but according to google Guinea pigs aren't supposed to have tails, but one of my Guinea pigs does. I've noticed on my male he has an obvious nub where his spine ends, but my female literally has a small tail about 3/8"- 1/2" long and if you touch it she moves it and curls it slightly up. Is this normal or do I have a little circus piglet?

Guinea pigs do not have tails. You may be perhaps be identifying the grease gland on your male. As for your female are you able to post a picture?
